The Androcam gene was originally isolated by Fyrberg et al. (1994), using reduced stringency cDNA library screening with a calmodulin (CaM) probe from our lab. The derived protein sequence of the new gene is 85% similar ...

Pattern matching algorithms are among the most important and practical contribution of theoretical computer science. Pattern matching is used in a wide variety of applications such as text editing, information retrieval, ...

The inducer binding site of the E. coli lactose repressor has been examined by in vitro characterization of mutant proteins with amino acid substitutions at the hypothetical inducer binding site (Sams, C. F., Vyas, N. K., ...

Salt stress induces multiple physiological responses in unicellular organisms. Responses include both immediate effects upon membrane permeability to select cytoplasmic solutes and changes in gene expression. This study ...

The Drosophila maternal effect mutant, bicaudal (bic), affects the anterior-posterior axis of the embryo. It is incompletely penetrant, producing a variety of lethal embryonic phenotypes, the most severe of which is ...

The effect of pH on the binding affinities of the conjugate bases of four different tetrahedral oxyacids to the periplasmic sulfate-binding protein from Salmonella typhimurium has been determined. In light of the highly ...

We were interested in identifying genes in the dipteran flies Calliphora erythrocephala and Drosophila melanogaster with a role in oogenesis and early embryogenesis. A biochemical screen was used to complement the extensive ...

Exposure of S. cerevisiae cells to an increase in external osmolarity induces a temporary growth arrest. Recovery from this stress is mediated by the accumulation of intracellular glycerol and the transcription of several ...

The available cloned examples of the intron-28S coding sequence junctions from the rDNA of Calliphora erythrocephala have been sequenced. These introns interrupt the rDNA at the same position as the type 1 intron family ...
